We need to install windows xp on these laptops, last time we created an nlite disk, but unfortunatly we have lost the disk and dont have the driver '10.1_f6flpy-x86.zip' and on the website: SATA drivers for XP (solution on 0x0000007B BSOD) - HP Support Forum which gives you this doc 6-940GML-943GML-945GM-945GMS-945PM-or-945GSEICH7M-driver-with-XP.doc but the link has now been killed -.-

Step 1: Format the Drive The steps here are to use the command line to format the disk properly using the diskpart utility. [be warned: this will erase everything on your drive. Be careful.] 1. Plug in your USB Flash Drive 2. Open a command prompt as administrator (Right click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt and select “Run as administrator” 3. Find the drive number of your USB Drive by typing the following into the Command Prompt window: diskpart list disk The number of your USB drive will listed. You’ll need this for the next step. I’ll assume that the USB flash drive is disk 1. 4. Format the drive by typing the next instructions into the same window. Replace the number “1” with the number of your disk below. select disk 1 clean create partition primary select partition 1 active format fs=NTFS assign exit When that is done you’ll have a formatted USB flash drive ready to be made bootable. Step 2: Make the Drive Bootable Next we’ll use the bootsect utility that comes on the Vista or Windows 7 disk to make the flash drive bootable. In the same command window that you were using in Step 1: 1. Insert your Windows Vista / 7 DVD into your drive. 2. Change directory to the DVD’s boot directory where bootsect lives: d: cd d:\boot 3. Use bootsect to set the USB as a bootable NTFS drive prepared for a Vista/7 image. I’m assuming that your USB flash drive has been labeled disk G:\ by the computer: bootsect /nt60 g: 4. You can now close the command prompt window, we’re done here. Step 3: Copy the installation DVD to the USB drive The easiest way is to use Windows explorer to copy all of the files on your DVD on to the formatted flash drive. After you’ve copied all of the files the disk you are ready to go. Step 4: Set your BIOS to boot from USB This is where you’re on your own since every computer is different. Most BIOS’s allow you to hit a key at boot and select a boot option.

Hi all, We have recently perchased adobe lightroom 4.1, but with have encountered a problem (a major one) with the catalog, apparently it has to be on a physical location eg "C:\Users\%username%\Pictures\Lightroom" but our pictures folder for users is redirected to the H:\ Drive... Adobe have made it so you are unable to store the catalog on a network location.. As our students are restricted from accessing the C:\ Drive we cannot create the catalogs their, neither can we create a symbolic link to this location, i have searched on the internet and a away round is to store it on an external hdd, but being in a classroom as this is impractical as one would be needed per machine, we have a few suits where lightroom will be installed (so nearly 200 machines). Anyone got any other ideas as we are stumped :/ Many Thanks

Hi all, We have 2 backup Servers on site, Backup1 Backup2 both are running server 2008 R2, same hardware, and have backup exec 2010 installed. both are plugged into a gigabit switch, but when the backups are running backup1 which is for staff runs at around 31mb/min but backup2 (students) runs at around 300mb/min both the staff and students servers are on our vSpere servers, Before we only had 1 backup server that ran both staff and student backups at around 300mb/min so has anyone any ideas on how to get it back? as we are compleatly stumped Many Thanks

our dcs are a range of the server editions eg. dc1 - server 2008 r2 ... dc2 - server 2008 ... dc3 - server 2003r2 have you found a way which is easy for staff memebers to remove the proxy?
-
Hi all, Currently our staff laptops are on xp, and off the domain, a batch file connects their drives and adds in the proxy ect. We are looking to move them to windows 7, we would like them to be on the domain but staff still need to be able to access their documents from home and also remove the proxy with ease. dont like the idea of local profiles as it may confuse some members of staff. anyone have any suggestions? Many Thanks
